Aslam u Alakaum Dear brother, This Question is
related to personality development and I am dealing on daily basis. This was
already in my mind but few days back when I read your article on "Wusaat
e Nazir," since then it became critical for me. Actually, I had /
have habit of reading newspapers online / checking personal email during
working hours in office. Now I am studying all this Islamic studies material
during working hours. It did not affect
the official work so far. I would not say it is completely true that it has
not effected at all but if it does then the probably is very small. Because I
am also performing the normal responsibilities and duties and I have no
complains from any one about this. Only thing I have cut down un necessary
things usually people do to look busy and do nothing. But the end point is, I am doing this in office and working hours and if it
come in knowledge of company official they would not like it off course. Because of this, I am disturbed and keep thinking if I
am doing right? If it leads towards Rizaq e Hilal or not???? I am working for longer hours. If I start studying at
home then probably I would not be able to give enough time on daily basis. However,
I will have time on weekends and daily after working hours. Please advise about right and wrong. Wasallam Muhammad Javid Akhtar April 2011 |

Dear Brother Wa alaikum us salam wa Rahmatullah I’m very happy to see your consciousness about such issues. This is a moral
issue, so you can ask your own conscience to get its opinion. The question is
not about specific to religious studies during office time but it encompasses
conducting all personal affairs during the office hours. People have usually two moral perspectives regarding
employment: First perspective belongs to those people who consider
man as a machine. They think that we have sold, for example, eight hours in
our daily life to our employer and it is morally wrong (and even corruption) to
use that time for anything else. They think that they should spend every
single minute of their job for their employment purposes. If this perspective is correct, then it will be morally
wrong to read books, browse internet, gossip, talk over the phone for
personal reasons etc. If we go to further extreme, it would be wrong to spend
some time in washroom, smoking, scratching, or doing something else personal
during office hours. If this perspective is accepted, then everyone in this
world is violating the rules of morality and eventually will be punished on
the Day of Judgment. In
such cases, employers should also not ask their workers to stay beyond normal
working hours because they are paying only for eight hours. But as you stated, it is not the case. At time of work, they
require employees to spend extra hours. This point of view emerged in early twentieth century
when researchers considered men as machines. This theory was called
“Scientific Management”. I recall a movie of Charlie
Chaplin named “The Modern Times” on this issue in
which he has presented the idea of Scientific Management and its impact on
workers. Second perspective is more humane and logical in my
opinion. According to this view, we are selling our services to do work. We
are morally obliged to complete all the reasonable tasks assigned to us
within required time and by meeting required quality standards. Employer
expectations for both time and quality must also be reasonable. If a person
does his job in time and with required quality parameters, whatever he does
during or after office hours should not be a concern of the employer. If you accept this perspective, you should not feel
guilty for doing anything personal in the office hours provided
that you are delivering the required quality of your work and abiding
by your deadlines. Being in the office from 9:00am to 5:00pm is a matter
of discipline and not as a moral obligation. If a person is more creative and
productive, for instance, during 12:00pm to 8:00pm or 5:00am to 1:00pm, is it
not in the benefit of employer to offer him such flexibility of hours in
order to get maximum output from his time? Modern employers learnt this
lesson and are allowing flexible hours to their employees especially to those
whose work requires creativity. I also practiced that with my team by
allowing them flexibility to come and leave office at the time they want. I
granted them liberty to do whatever they desire during office hours. I just
gave them task, targets and taught them the required quality standards. The
results were amazing!!! They never missed a single deadline and quality of
work was far beyond my expectations. This theory is called “Management by
Objectives” which is proposed by Peter Drucker, a
famous Management Scientist. Wassalam Mubashir |
